Mine is nostalgia. That's literally my copium drug and it really is strong some days. It's not that I sit here everyday and never move on to newer things, I do sometimes embrace new things and realize there's more out there than what I have.

It's just, there's an online radio show I still listen to, to this day and it's episodes are like 17 years old and been out of syndication for a good long while now with no hope of returning. It's like my time capsule that opens up so much in my mind, so many memories, so many what-ifs to think about, bringing me back to where things were in that time period .etc

And it's something I just don't think I'll ever let go because as much as I've tried to find a place in this awfully trashed world, I'm always winding back at square one because either I'm incompatible or it is incompatible with me.

I just want to go back to the 2000s and do it all over again and meet who I know now just to see how things could've gone if we've all met earlier.

Appreciate the heck out of everything as we are not going in a good direction. Every walk. Every tree. Every breath of fresh air I take in and just enjoy. Heck I watch old stuff just because so much stuff is gated now and even if it wasn't I mostly don't like it. Enjoy good fresh foods. Enjoy having shelter and a comfortable climate. Enjoy your loved ones be they human, animal, or plant. Just appreciate what is good in life now for as long as you can.
